ATEK Communications provides national distributed antenna systems and DAS, fiber backbone with wireless deployment or DAS installations on a local, regional or national scope. DAS or Distributed Antenna Systems combines a fiber cable or copper cable consisting of CAT 5e or CAT6 backbone tying in WAP- wireless access points to a switch or proprietary system. DAS WIFI deployment is becoming popular and required in many industries in all 50 states with a team of certified national wireless installers providing wireless rollouts for a full spectrum of national wireless integration services. DAS is being deployed in hospitals, nursing homes, municipalities, campus envirnments, military bases,domestic resorts, international resorts, all enabling the users wirelss communications up to 4G bandwidths using fiber cable as a backbone to deliver the needed bandwidth.

Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS)

A Distributed Antenna System, or DAS, is a network of smaller, spatially separated antenna nodes connected to the communications network. A DAS network splits the transmitted signal among several smaller antennas to provide coverage and reliability over the same area as a single cell tower antenna. DAS networks are effective in areas with difficult topography, structural impediments (e.g. buildings, or within buildings), or in locations where, for a variety of reasons, it is not optimal to build a traditional macro sites.Many buildings are unable to receive cell phone and emergency radio signals throughout their facilities. The National Fire Code has urged jurisdictions to create guidelines requiring distributed antenna systems in larger buildings so that emergency responders are able to use their radios to communicate during emergency situations. These systems allow radio signals to be received deep in the recesses of the largest and most complex facilities, and also ensure that cell phone signals are accessible for your employees, customers, and business operations. Whether you need a system for a new building or you’re retrofitting an existing building, or a national rolllout ATEK has the expertise to create the optimal wireless DAS system to fit your needs.

In this DAS system the building can communicate with others with a Donor Antenna

Miles of telecommunications fiber have been installed nationwide over the last few years, much by rural telecommunication companies servicing their areas. While in many situations, a fiber deployment is viewed as competition for a wireless system, yeta rural telecom’s fiber assets can actually be a complement to its wireless network.

Here are two examples:

–Wireless Backhaul: The ability of a company to move minutes and megabytes over existing infrastructure, essentially paying themselves, can augment a rural telco’s wireless business model tremendously.

–Distributed Antenna System: Allows an existing base station to feed additional antennae’s which can be located many kilometers away.

DAS solutions provide pinpoint coverage and capacity solutions for rural carriers. One example of a successful DAS solution we worked on involved a cooperative in rural Minnesota that had an extensive fiber layout across its service area. A comprehensive road re-construction project was in place that would have decommissioned both internet and wireline phone service for several weeks along a one-mile stretch. Obviously, customers’ service would have been affected during this time period.

The roadway was not yet covered by the telco’s existing 3G wireless coverage. The build-out for this area was months away. They worked with the telco to develop a DAS, placing antenna assets on a telephone pole connected via fiber to an existing 3G node B in operation over six miles away. This allowed voice and data to be functional to the subscribers along the affected roadway using a modem capable of internet and voice. The homes were able to keep dial tone and Internet, wirelessly, for the three weeks it took for the road project to be completed. A separate site or tower was not needed to be constructed and the temporary site was erected and connected to the fiber network in less than one day without a tower crew needed. Yet another great example of a successful DAS solution we worked on involved a rural telecommunications company in Nebraska servicing a less populated area on the edge of its territory. This system is currently utilizing an existing tower asset and fiber facilities that are connected to the tower, extending 3G voice and data coverage to road miles and a minimal population base, without the capital and operating costs of an additional base station. Yes, future capacity needs and population growth may warrant a node b installed on site, but at present the distributed antenna is hosted by a 3G site that is 18 kilometers away.

This marks yet another great example of utilizing wireless to find and keep a subscriber base in an area where, due to the population, it may not be the most economical to employ FTTH.

Many rural telephone companies have existing assets that can be utilized in unique ways to leverage the success of its wireless operation. DAS is a great way for telcos to provide increased speed to market for rural wireless play; at the same time, reduce capital and operating costs.

The demand for DAS is growing. And by partnering with a wireless technology company, telcos do have options. By streamlining the complete process, they can decrease overall costs while improving network reliability.

DAS- System Design: With a proper understanding of what the systems needs to accomplish our wireless network infrastructure engineers are able to design an optimal layout of repeaters, antennas and components.. Though often overlooked, we've found a preliminary wireless system design is the most important step to eliminating unnecessary costs and determining how multiple budget line items can combine to increase the system's return on investment (ROI).We create a preliminary wireless system design based on three criteria: The wireless technologies to be designed (i.e. cell/PCS, paging, 802.11a, 802.11b/g, public safety, etc.

The System Design utilizes advanced radio propagation modeling tools that merge the technical capabilities of every equipment solution with the real-world considerations of the indoor environment. Final drawings, produced in CAD, result in a comprehensive set of elements and plans sufficiently detailed to enable seamless execution of your entire system. We work with national CAD and DAS grid designers to provide you the design - build national services.

However, these wireless network connections are useless unless there is a wireless service available. Laptop computers now face the same problem that cell phones face: Where's the signal?

Internet access for companies has traditionally been provided through special phone company circuits called T1s (or E1s). But local exchange companies (LEC's) have traditionally held service monopolies in their markets and as a result T1/E1 service had no competition … if you wanted high speed Internet access, you had to pay the high monthly T1 lease fees. However, competition in the phone industry has been established and as a result, competing ISPs, CLECs, WISPs, etc. have been deploying their own networks (including wireless portions) from which to offer data networking services such as high speed access as well as plain old telephone service (POTS).

As you can see, there are several markets to be served by the wireless Internet Service Provider industry (WISP). No one product can serve all the myriad of applications and as a result there are now several wireless technologies to choose from. These technologies fall into two categories: standard technologies such as 802.11 (WiFi) and 802.16 (WiMax) and proprietary technologies. Each technology has its own advantages and disadvantages. But this is not the only way to distinguish wireless technologies. Other technology differences have to deal with whether the technology is point-to-point (PTP), point-to-multipoint (PMP), or something else (ex: mesh). Each of these faces differing regulatory requirements and serves different purposes.

Point to Point Technologies: Data Backhauls

PTP technologies are useful for serving as data backhauls that serve distribution systems (xDSL, cable modems, etc) and for connecting private data networks (ex: office buildings). PMP technologies are useful as distribution systems since more than one "end point" (customer premise) is served by a single "start point" (base station).

Another key difference in wireless technologies is the geographic distance they are to serve. The term "hot spot" (referring to a small geographical area of coverage … for example, a coffee house) has entered into the standard terminology of the wireless data networking industry. But equipment useful for hot spot coverage will not accommodate the needs of the "last mile" application. A bit of a misnomer, the "last mile" has progressed to mean anything from the "last 50 meters/feet" to the "last 20 miles".

Point-to-point (PTP) RF data networking refers to the use of wireless (RF) technologies to create a data link between two … exactly two … locations. PTP wireless data networks tend to require high data throughput over long distances.

PTP is different from point-to-multipoint (PMP) in two key ways. First, PMP has more than two locations. Second, because there are more than two locations all sharing the same access media (the RF channel), the control and use of the RF channel becomes more complex.

Even within the "unlicensed" RF spectrum there are still regulatory requirements placed on the RF equipment. These regulatory requirements are typically different for PTP products than for PMP (sometimes very different). Most typically, these regulatory requirements deal with limiting the strength of the RF transmission. Just to make things more complicated, these restrictions are often placed on the RF equipment itself (TX power) and also on the combined affect of the RF equipment and the RF antenna (EIRP). PTP regulatory limits are typically higher than those for PMP products.

Wireless PTP data links typically do not require much in the way of network services. As a result, PTP devices typically operate as simple (Ethernet) bridges and leave services such as routing and traffic policing to the networks they are connecting. In a sense, a PTP wireless link becomes an invisible "cable" joining two data network devices. Without wireless technology, distances of over 100 meters typically must be served by wide area network (WAN) technologies such as T1/E1 and fiber. However, wireless data networking allows for local area network (LAN) technologies such as 10-BaseT to be used. These technologies are not only less expensive but they are more readily available as well … just about every computer now has an Ethernet network interface (NIC) port. This means that computers can be directly connected to each other using wireless PTP technology even if they are separated by many miles/kilometers.

ATEK Communications has recently teamed up with one of our national partners to roll out a 750 nursing home DAS wireless network. The fiber backbone was installed then ethernet sent to the nursing stations using media converters to CAT6 cable and to WAP's throughout the facilities.
